Full Day in Shiraz

Full Day in Shiraz. Today I took a tour with an agency to see the ancient ruins of
Persepolis,Naqsh-E Rostam, Naqsh-E Rajab, and Pasargadae. Persepoli(photo above) was really amazing and the others were nice too. Pasargadae was quite worn though. Met up with a Brit and a Singaporean and took a ton of pictures. Very hot and sunny out there.

I am definitely coming back to Iran. The tour was from 8am to about 5:45pm. Then I met up with Mahmoud, the English tutor and we went to the Tomb of Hafez. Hafez is a very famous poet in Iran. There were many people mourning him there. He is very important to the Iranians.

Then we saw some parks and went to the Quran Gateway, got some good night shots there. Tomorrow I will check out the rest of the sites in Shiraz. Then fly to Tehran late that night.

The people are friendly and love to try to speak to the foreigners. People stare at us alot. The Brit who is of Indian descent, the Singaporean, and myself were a valuable commodity in that people wanted to take their picures with us.

So off to bed, tomorrow should be more relaxed, then try and get a carpet Friday, then off to home.
